The History Of Ska part 1 of ?

I figured I might as well talk about where it is that ska came from although I doubt that anyone who was actively looking for a ska blog would need me to tell them about it. Ska originated in Jamaica the late fifties and early sixties. This was not the ska that we know today but served as a precursor to it as well as reggae. An awesome example of one of these first wave ska bands should check out The Skatalites!

About Me

Hey people who aren't actually reading this! I guess I should talk about my self here, so here's what I'm going to tell you. I'm a college student born, raised, and living on Long Island. I actually play guitar and bass myself. I try and support my local ska scene and I suggest every other ska fan do the same! I first started listening to ska when I was a sophomore in high school and listened to Reel Big Fish for the first time. Since then it has become my favorite type of music and a big part of my life.
